In Search of Gaea: A Seafaring Fantasy Adventure

I believe a pretty easy reason for Marea could be either her adoptive father giving her a request or just wanting to go along with Marlowe to make sure he stays fine during his shenanigans.

If you'd like, I could flesh out the relationships she has with the South Sea folk.

@May96

You haven't even imagined Marlowe shenanigans yet. In the opening post I've been building up, he even makes children embarrassed. But yeah, more fleshing out only leads to better things!

Good stuffs everyone. I've been looking through CS's whilst grading an almost countless sea of tests and essays. There are characters I really enjoy, characters that I feel could use retooling, and characters that I feel need more information or more fleshing out.

One thing to consider is why your character would go on an adventure? Happy-go-lucky types are okay, but even Marlowe will have a drive or a goal to reach far beyond his simple "I want to see the world" mindset. Revenge, lost honor, forbidden knowledge, love; all of these are things are what give characters purpose beyond simple meandering.

A member of my secret Illuminati council said it best: what's all the skill in the world against the drive of a desperate man or woman? What drives people to seek out ancient treasure and certain doom? For some it's fool's luck and a naive sense of adventure, but others have starving families, sick children, dead parents, etc to spur them on.

I am going to spend time meticulously going through everyone’s characters to see who what characters would best fit the story. Diverse characters, interesting histories,secrets to be found...all are good marks.

Oh! I do have a thing to say to everyone with a CS already. Everyone is born with an aether sign, even if they don’t use Aether. Children born during the day are marked with the sign of the sun, children born at night are marked with the sign of the moon. It’s seen as bad luck if a child is born during an eclipse,like my character. Hence why he narratively lacks a sign. I apologize for not making that clear.

Also @GingerBoi123 go with whatever character you want! Just look at my CS, lore info and others. Part of what I’m looking for is a group thrown together by fate or bad luck and the adventure they go on.

I have a lot of confidence here. I don't know why. Just do.

@Inkarnate

Nepotism won’t save you this time boyo.

Also on technology: irs fantasy/steampunk where a lot of “tech” is scavenged from the old world.

Anyone can submit a CS. I’ll go through and decide which ones will fit the best

In Search of Gaea: A Seafaring Fantasy Adventure

I won't be making any major choices on characters just yet. It's only been less than 24 hours since the topic is made, so I do want to give others who expressed interest a chance to create their character sheets as well. Plus, I've got a ton of grading to do as it is. If anyone has any questions or ideas, you can ask them here or PM me and i'll get back to that as soon as I can.

@DruSM157 Do you still have any room left?

@MepMep

I haven't even gone over CS's yet!

I was in school long enough to know that's why scantrons exist :-P

Really though, good luck with your tests.

@Zapdos

I'm an idiot who believes that it's better to write answers and give credit for partial answers than have it a get the question or miss it entirely situation. Great for everyone's grades! Terrible for my free time

Seems like it. I'm thinking the GM will be spending most of the day reading character sheets :-P

Looking forward to the RP! It seems like we have a diverse cast here, which should make things interesting.

@Zapdos

I wish! I have about 200 tests and 58 essays to grade before Wednesday to do as well as running this RP
